URBAN COMPACTION
Large cities thrive on density and diversity. But beyond the energy and pollution advantages of the elevator over the automobile, complex issues are at play in concentrating population and built infrastructure in contemporary high-rise cities. How do you meet the challenges of system design for high quality compact urban environments?
Designing for high and increasing density in cities is a complex and wicked problem that calls for innovative approaches to modelling in diverse areas of the city’s dynamics.
sg2014 Challenge: Urban Compaction
WORKSHOP
The SG Workshop is a unique creative cauldron attracting attendees from across the world of academia, professional practice as well as many of the brightest students. The Workshop is open to 100 applicants who come together for four intensive days of design and collaboration.
The annual Workshop is organised around Clusters. Clusters are hubs of expertise comprising of people, knowledge, tools, materials and machines. The Clusters provide a focus for Workshop participants working together, within a common framework.
We now have an open call to submit proposals for Workshop Clusters

CONFERENCE
Talkshop Conference Day One
After four intense days of innovative work, the first day of the conference, the Talkshop, offers an opportunity for critical reflection on what has been accomplished in the Workshop. Talkshop will be an opportunity to open debates, pose questions, challenge orthodoxies, and propose new ideas.
Talkshop will feature informal and open discussions between Cluster participants, leading practitioners and emerging talents in digital design, offering inside perspectives on how the landscape of computational design is reshaping built form.
Symposium Conference Day Two
The second day of the conference, the Symposium, will feature invited keynote speakers showcasing major projects and research from around the globe that mark out the territory of the year's Challenge. The Symposium is a unique opportunity to hear insights into the challenges ahead for the discipline.
Interwoven throughout the day will be reports and highlights from each Workshop Cluster, giving an opportunity to view work created during the previous four days of intensive collaboration, design and development.
More information about the conference, including speakers, to be posted soon.

at STL files of "thickened" wireframes.
The problem underneath, is that we are not dealing with 2d or 2.5d meshes, but a bunch of lines, intersecting in 3d vertex, wich globally are not topologically related, but its ideally a 3d spatial structure.
As fas as we know:
option1: mesh/solid boolean
>between tubes, for the edges, and spheres at each vertex.
>it happens to get many errors in Magics & crashes quickly with big structures and many meshes.
option 2: isosurface
>either isosurf , or realflow works fine for high blending needs, and small pieces
>looks always good but does not seem to fit slender tubular structures fabrication purposes
option 3: 3-matic software
>used by prototyping industry, seems to repair everything
>expensive, unaffordable, exceptionally
option4: topological extrude
>topologically solve the extrusion of a vertex with many edges, generating non overlapped geometry. For 2d and 2,5 D, it works, but our attempts in maya fail everytime we try with 3D vertices.
> we believe there has to be a geometrical mesh trick
(we imagine Giulio Piacentino's Weaver Bird could have this useful feature)
We'll be waiting for suggestions and solutions (or cases)
Thanks

ized triangles? Aesthetics? Constructability/financial? Frankly, much of the diagrid construction I've worked on and know about doesn't worry about same sizes but rather maximum and minimum sizes, and tolerances.
3. You could aim for families of sizes: understand the tolerance of the system as constructed and group similar panels by size and shape so that you could potentially have 10 of A, 8 of B, 4 of C, and 2 of D or something.
4. I highly recommend looking at Evolute Tools. It has all sorts of optimization of meshes that would allow you to control of size, shape, etc.
5. Finally, I don't think you want a simple mapping of a diagrid to your surfaces. I say that because of the way your form pinches down to a point. One thought would be to create a larger surface that has a more rectangular boundary, panelize it, then trim the panels. Then all the internal panels would be quite similar and you'd only have irregular edge panels.
Just a few thoughts.
That's my two cents!…
always working this way when a
2d-matrix tree structure is needed. I supposed many of us are using this logic
a lot.
It'd always be better if it's in 3 or 4 etc. dimensions.
best regards…
o a multiplication between two lists of N matrixes of 6x6.
So far, i've been working with them as data tree, therefore i have a "3 dimensional" setup(Paths are [X,Y}(Z))
i'm an absolute begginer in any programming language, but so far i've done something like this:ps: d is just an input, thats the number of dimensions,
both k and T are the lists of matrixes.well, i'm hoping to get one matrix list as an output, what is what i attempted by the c{m} up there, and if possible eventually(after some more operations) bring them back to data tree format.any ideas?Thanks!Bruno…

at keeps me from modifying 'easier' the structure (in the same time not much time to study it since its for school). What I am intending to do next is to create 2 vertical 'pillars' (always in space frame), placed on the extremities, which would have its starting points(of the lines that generates the frame) at the center of a certain sphere (for exampling for the length 3 spheres..)going perpendicular to the 'ground' (plan x,y). So I do understand more or less how it works and all, but don't know the use of many functions from GH (started using since september 2014)....
Could please someone help me, ( if possible explain me) how to do it what to use ( using a language for a Noob to understand) Thx to whoever responded to my help 'demand' and may you be blessed :D
if it makes it any clear what i need ;)…

I tried so many different ways but none worked !i need 3 layers, each layer has a different number of points, so there will be different size of holes. ( I think I've reached this point )I used a pop2d -> 2D Voronoi -> Scaled ( dist from curve ) but I want all three layers connected to each other, i tried also 3D Voronoi and the Voronax Plugin and none worked !I'm so confused :D

ay to make some real-life proper nodes for that kind of T truss (we use machined balls solely for MERO KK type of normal trusses).
3. I'll post here soon a modular demo system suitable for this case (real-life for AEC purposes - NOT for decorative/artistic stuff, I don't care about that since I'm an engineer). This would include a policy for the X struts that require a variable linkage (the X angle). and in the same time a multi cable tensioner "bracket".
4. "Basic" coding next week for T trusses ? Er ... well ... are you kidding me right? I mean that ... hmm ...
5. C# things (about 2+K) around me are classified into 2 "groups": things that are weapons in the right hands and others that serve as demos/start points for mostly abstract cases. The former are internal the latter for public use. I'll remove some sensitive lines from a T truss C# maker and I'll post it here as a "guideline" ... for ...hmm... 4.
All in all:
Provided that you have system(s) on hand (see 3) that work 100% OK in an ideal world you'll need:
A. Something that does the general topology AND (especially) clash detection. Maybe Kangaroo as well as a "first pass" with regard rigidity of the structure in case that you don't adopt a classic T "configuration" (there are many > Google tensegrity).
B. Connectivity trees that relate nodes/edges and maybe faces (say for roofing panels/curtain walls etc etc). Without them is impossible to assemble the T thingy.
C: Something that places real-life "parts" as instance definitions and/or (optional) a "tracking variants history" ability.
D. A bullet proof way to EXPORT things (on an assembly/component schema, say: STEP214 - see C) into a proper BIM app (the likes of AECOSim/Revit) and/or into a MCAD app (the likes of CATIA/NX).
E. FEA/FIM in order to validate the structural ability of the components and the T truss itself.
F. Roofing/cladding/envelope components.
G. "Interactive" cost estimation(s) - T trusses are hideously expensive at least versus "classic" trusses (exactly like a planar glazing system that retails 3++ times more than a humble semi-structural one)…
